“…Most parents wanted another child but were very scared of having a subsequent pregnancy, findings consistent with those reported by (Blackmore et al, 2011; Gold et al, 2010; Nazaré et al, 2012). There were more fears and anxiety reported by parents at the 13 th month than at the 7 th month post the death.…”

“…This is important because much of the research on pregnancy after infant or child death focuses on pregnancy, perinatal or newborn death, and overwhelmingly includes white, married, middle class women (DeBackere, Hill, & Kavanaugh, 2008) despite the changing U.S. population mix. 2011), mothers than in fathers (Armstrong, 2002(Armstrong, , 2004Nazaré, Fonseca, & Canavarro, 2012), women without any children (Tsartsara & Johnson, 2006), and women who had a perinatal loss later in gestation (Cote-Arsenault & Dombeck, 2001). While anxiety decreased as pregnancy advanced (Cote-Arsenault, Donato, & Earl, 2006), a short time frame between the loss and a subsequent pregnancy increased the risk for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD; Turton, Huges, Evans, & Fainman, 2001).…”

Purpose Examine parents’ concerns about subsequent pregnancies after experiencing an infant or child death (newborn to 18 years). Data sources Thirty‐nine semistructured parent (white, black, Hispanic) interviews 7 and 13 months post infant/child death conducted in English and/or Spanish, audio‐recorded, transcribed, and content analyzed. Mothers’ mean age was 31.8 years, fathers’ was 39 years; 11 parents were white, 16 black, and 12 Hispanic. Conclusions Themes common at 7 and 13 months: wanting more children; fear, anxiety, scared; praying to God/God's will; thinking about/keeping the infant's/child's memory and at 7 months importance of becoming pregnant for family members; and at 13 months happy about a new baby. Parents who lost a child in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) commented more than those who lost a child in pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). Black and Hispanic parents commented more on praying to God and subsequent pregnancies being God's will than white parents. Implications for practice Loss of an infant/child is a significant stressor on parents with documented negative physical and mental health outcomes. Assessing parents’ subsequent pregnancy plans, recognizing the legitimacy of their fears about another pregnancy, discussing a plan should they encounter problems, and carefully monitoring the health of all parents who lost an infant/child is an essential practitioner role.

Considering this, when studying the influence of coping on grief symptomatology we should differentiate between adaptive (e.g.…”

“…The birth of a baby is one of the happiest events that a couple can experience together. However, this experience can be fraught with frustration and challenges such as pregnancy complications or fetal loss, abortion, the birth of a dead baby, and fetal abnormalities (1). Nearly a quarter of pregnancies eventually lead to abortions (2).…”

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the perception and experience of recurrent pregnancy loss through the perspective of women in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Materials and Methods: This qualitative study was conducted in 2017 and 12 women with recurrent miscarriage were interviewed, using purposive sampling method, in the Medical and Health Clinic of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology under the supervision of the UAE Medical University. Transcribed interviews were analyzed using conventional content analysis. Results: Data analysis led to the extraction of three main themes, including endless pregnancy, thirst for support and affirmation, and religious beliefs. Conclusions: Overall, the experience of recurrent miscarriage means endless pregnancy from Arab women’s perspective, which awakened a thirst for support and affirmation. In this regard, the utilization of religious beliefs greatly reduced their pain. Therefore, knowing the dangers and consequences of recurrent miscarriages in Arab women, adopting preventative measures, and improving the quality of care in these vulnerable women require special attention.
